I demo'd the K2 with my quad 12l and didnt find it bright at all very controlled sweet treble. How mant hours have you run the amp for? My CA 840 was a bit splashy for the first week or two but has settled down beautifully

The sewage man:
How come igglebert and me are the only people to question its brightness?? Are we just unlucky or what?

I'm a bit late coming in on this but the Kandy I heard with RS6s was harsh and aggressive with rock music, and didn't suit me at all, but as other people have said give it time and it may smooth out a bit and you may get used to it.Otherwise save up for a Caspian.

It also depends on the sort of music you listen to. Anything harder than Queen or The Stereophonics doesn't really suit my system, but then that's not what I like anyway. Dance sounds superb, vocalists sublime, chillout-style excellent, but not The Stone Roses.
